ANTHONY JOSHUA has joked that he wished he had slept with Amir Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom in a hilarious tweet.
The former heavyweight champ, 32, was once accused of having an affair with the reality TV star by the Olympic silver medallist.
Back then, he denied the claims by posting a music video of the Shaggy hit It Wasn’t Me.
Fast forward five years later and the question still crops up.
On Saturday night, Joshua was asked by fan on Twitter: “AJ lad did you f*** Mrs. Khan back in the day?”
Rather than duck an answer, AJ gave a brilliantly funny reply.
